Bridal Dress
Visit Belle et Blanc, Your Bridal Dress Shop
Are you looking for a bridal dress shop? When you’re ready to begin your search for the wedding gown of your dreams, Belle et Blanc can help. We offer a wide variety of dresses in many styles to suit every bride’s taste, style, and theme.
Common Mistakes People Make
Most brides are not experienced at shopping for wedding dresses. It’s something most people do just once (or perhaps twice), so it’s not surprising that it’s easy to make a mistake and end up with a dress you don’t love. With a little know-how, however, you can avoid these common mistakes and discover the dress of your dreams.
- Shopping without context. Before visiting a bridal store, you should know a few things about your wedding, such as what time of year it will be, how formal it will be, and where it will be. This information will help you choose an appropriate dress.
- Shopping too early or too late. Six to ten months or so before your wedding date is the right time to buy your dress. Waiting too long could mean there won’t be time to fulfil your order while starting too soon might cloud your judgment as newer gowns are released as your big day approaches.
- Giving your friends (or mother, or sister) too much power. It will be your dress. Your loved ones can share valuable opinions and advice, but at the end of the day, make sure that their opinions come second to yours. There’s nothing more important than how a dress makes you feel.
The Best Advice You Can Hear Regarding Bridal Wear
Are you feeling overwhelmed at the thought of visiting a bridal shop and having to choose just one out of all the gorgeous gowns? Don’t worry. Here are a few tips to help make the choice a little easier.
- Research dress silhouettes. There are several different basic styles of dresses, including ballgown, A-line, fit-and-flare, mermaid, and sheath. Having an idea of what you like can help you narrow down your options.
- Try something new. Although it’s a good idea to be familiar with dress silhouettes and know which ones you like, it’s also smart to try on a few “wild cards.” You might discover that you look great in a style you wouldn’t have otherwise considered.
- Trust your instincts. It’s your wedding, your day, and your dress. You know what looks good on you and what you envision when you see yourself walking down the aisle. Listen to your friends’ opinions but make the decision yourself.
Prepare for Your Visit to Belle et Blanc
When it comes time to visit a bridal boutique, it’s essential to be prepared for the shopping experience to ensure that you get the most out of it and leave happy. Here are some ways you can prepare for the ultimate wedding dress shopping day.
- Eat. Shopping for a wedding dress can be exhausting. Your mind may be on a million different things but take the time to eat a light meal before you set out. You don’t want to be uncomfortably full, but you don’t want to get hungry (and irritable) halfway through your appointment.
- Do your hair and makeup. You don’t have to go all out but applying some basic makeup and wearing your hair like how you anticipate wearing it for your wedding will give you a more accurate idea of how a dress will look.
- Limit your guests. Many brides want to bring an entourage with them to try on dresses. However, this can lead to more confusion because everyone has their own opinion. Bringing two or three people you’re close to whose opinions you trust is a good idea.
